One in four people have a mental health condition yet less than half are getting the help they need—many because they are afraid others will judge them. You can be the one to help change that.
On May 4, kick off Mental Health Month with Be the One at the San Mateo County Health System, 225 37th Ave, Room 100, San Mateo from 6-8pm. Hear directly from community members about what it is like to live with a mental health and substance use condition and their journey to recovery. Learn about local resources and ‘Take the Pledge’ to help end the stigma surrounding mental health and substance use disorders in San Mateo County by starting the conversation and encouraging those who need help to seek it.
Enjoy an evening of hope and inspiration, with refreshments, raffle prizes, the Be the One photo booth, and resource tables. Interpretive services will be available upon request with three days’ notice. Childcare is provided. Please RSVP at www.mentalhealthmonth.eventbrite.com.
